SAY ANYTHING: Kamala Says She Will Eliminate Filibuster to Pass Abortion Bill — That's Not What She Said in 2017

posted by Hannity Staff - 9.24.24

During an interview with Wisconsin Public Radio that aired Tuesday, Kamala Harris pledged to eliminate the filibuster in order to pass an abortion bill.

“I think we should eliminate the filibuster for Roe, and get us to the point where 51 votes would be what we need to actually put back in law the protections for reproductive freedom and for the ability of every person and every woman to make decisions about their own body and not have their government tell them what to do,” Harris said.

Listen below:

Senator Tom Cotton quickly hit X to expose Kamala’s latest flip-flop. Back in 2017, Harris signed a letter pledging to support the filibuster.

“Kamala wants to abolish the filibuster, but here’s the letter she signed as Senator pledging to support the filibuster to ensure the Senate “continues to serve as the world’s greatest deliberative body.” Her word is meaningless. She’ll say anything to get elected.”

Senator Joe Manchin (I-WV) reacted to Harris’ proposal to eliminate the filibuster, saying “shame on her.”

“Shame on her,” Manchin, who is retiring at year’s end, said in the Capitol. “She knows the filibuster is the Holy Grail of democracy. It’s the only thing that keeps us talking and working together. If she gets rid of that, then this would be the House on steroids.”
